REFLECTING SHEBBEAR

JUNE ISSUE
We had considered putting together a magazine to be published online only, but it would be a very strange one, as it would contain no local news eg School, College, WI, Village Hall etc. etc., and we could not carry any advertising as most of the businesses have suspended their businesses and / or are keeping safe at home.

We therefore will only resume publishing, when we are able to re-engage with our advertisers, the community is open as 'normal' - whatever that might mean, and know that we can call on our dedicated army of volunteer distributors, most of whom are elderly and / or have conditions requiring a 6 week lockdown.

Keep safe
